THE home secretary, Theresa May, is facing a stiff test of the Conservative partys claims to oppose radical Islam after her officials chose to allow a misogynist Muslim preacher into Britain.

Zakir Naik, an Indian televangelist described as a hate-monger by moderate Muslims and one Tory MP, says western women make themselves more susceptible to rape by wearing revealing clothing.

Naik, who proselytises on Peace TV, a satellite television channel, is reported to have called for the execution of Muslims who change their faith, described Americans as pigs and said that every Muslim should be a terrorist.

In a recent lecture, he said he was with Osama Bin Laden over the attacks on terrorist America, adding that the 9/11 hijackings were an inside job by President George W Bush.

The UK Border Agency said: Each case is considered on its own merits. When assessing a visa application, we will consider the previous conduct of the individual and we will ensure the UK does not provide a platform for the promotion of violent extremism.

Naik will be appearing at Wembley Arena in London and in Sheffield on his British tour. When he last came to Britain in 2006, his visit was condemned by David Davies, the Tory MP for Monmouth, who described him as a hate-monger.
